June 17 · eliseo rieraThank you for a great dinner. The waitress answered our numerous questions about menu items and was very accommodating! The food was delicious! The mussels in white wine sauce were delicious. Great experience!! The manager was very nice and should be proud of his food!
September 01 · Kim Diana-VerdiGreat food. The Chicken ajillo is excellent. So is the grilled shrimp over special salad, the veal chops, the gambas ajillo and the sangria. I Have been going here since 1983. Food is constantly great every time!! Definitely call ahead on the weekend to get a reservation.
